Media reviews

About C.J. Taylor’s books:
“Taylor tells the tale with straightforward ease: her paintings, exquisitely evocative of their primeval setting.”
– Kirkus Review

“Captivating art…particularly good for classroom discussions, as the diversity represented helps dispel the myth of a ‘generic’ Native American culture.”
– School Library Journal
